When Ming Wu was drowsy, the maids of the public mansion changed a batch to deliver food; The meal was sumptuous, there were meat and vegetables, a total of nine meat dishes, Ming Wu accompanied her mother to eat a few bites in a hurry, barely filling her stomach, and the mother and daughter went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the old man's study, the grandfather walked into the yard, and Liang Bo saw him at a glance.

"Grandpa is well, why are you here?"

"Come and say hello to my father, is it convenient for my father to see me at this time?" Grandpa asked politely.

Liang Bo said respectfully: "Back to Grandpa, the master is meeting guests." ”

"Trouble Liang Botong and say that I came to say goodbye to my father."

"Okay, Grandpa later."

Liang Bo turned around and entered the study, the old man and Fan Wei'an followed the sound, and the old man asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master, grandpa is outside, saying that he is here to greet you."

"Didn't you tell him I was meeting a guest?" The old man frowned, and his heart was filled with displeasure.

"Having said that, the grandfather still asked the old slave to go back and forth." Uncle Liang responded bluntly, he said, but your son has to come over at this time to say goodbye.

The old man's eyebrows were a little cold, "Since he is here, let him in; It's good to meet his brother. ”

"Yes."

Liang Bo exited the study in response and welcomed his grandfather over; When the grandfather saw his father, he saluted.

"The son has seen his father, and his father is well."

The old man nodded, "Get up, come, this is your second senior brother Fan Wei'an, the word is heavy; You are familiar with the other senior brothers, but Chongcheng is not often in Beijing, taking advantage of his return this time, you can get to know each other well. ”

"Second senior brother, hello." Grandpa said.

Fan Wei'an got up and saluted back, "Hello junior brother, junior brother is polite." ”

The grandfather got up with a smile and looked at Fan Wei'an a few times first, "Second Senior Brother doesn't seem to have changed much. ”

"Where can I be! Old, old, people don't like to move anymore. Fan Wei'an said politely, "I used to see that my junior brother was still a teenager, but after so many years, you already have a wife and children, and you are scattered." ”

The old man answered, "He just has no interest, and after taking over my position, he didn't make any political achievements; is messing around day by day, not as capable as a few of your brothers and sisters. ”

Fan Wei'an could only listen to these words, but he didn't hear the pride in Master's words!

"Look at what the master said, the junior brother is very good in this way, and when the water is full, it overflows; You are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, although you have retired, the high power of the year is something that the emperor is afraid of. It would be inappropriate to let the junior brother go your way again, it was helpless back then, but now there is a choice. ”

At that time, the two emperors were somewhat incompetent, thanks to the assistance of several old ministers; Even so, there are still many loyal ministers who are degraded, and he is one of them.

"Yes! It's not appropriate to go my way again, and that's fine. The old man agreed, and felt sorry for him, "Your political sense is still undiminished, do you really not consider my proposal?" ”

Fan Wei'an couldn't cry or laugh, "Master, you know me, I've been used to it all these years; I don't get used to coming back to the court every day, you feel sorry for your disciples. ”

The old man shook his head, regretting it in his heart, but he no longer spoke out to persuade him.

Seeing this, the grandfather said, "Is the second senior brother going to enter the court as an official?" ”

"It's not." The old man glanced at him, he knew a little about this son's ability, he had a lot of eyes, and he was upright, which was not a bad thing, "Chongcheng is here to send my apprentice grandson to the capital, and he is a smart child; At this time, I will arrange for them to stay in my courtyard room, and hold a reception banquet in the evening, and you all come over. ”

The grandfather's heart moved, and he should have been.

After chatting for a while, the old man opened his mouth to drive people away, not only letting his son go; It also allows Fan Wei'an to go to rest and not have to sit for half a day.

When Ming's mother and daughter woke up, the rest of the meal had condensed.

"What about these? There are so many left. Having raised enough spirits, Xiao Leshi asked.

Ming Wu said: "Don't worry about it, there will be a maid to clean up, let's quickly find clothes to wear; Someone will come and take us to the reception afterwards. ”

"Good....... Sanya, or my mother won't go; Niang is a rural village woman, and the biggest official she has ever seen is Lizheng, what should I do if I go to the reception banquet and make a joke. "Isn't that for others to look down on my daughter!

"Don't worry, be calm, treat them like cabbage turnips; You eat yours, what's the matter with me, as well as Dean Fan and my husband. "As long as the old man is here, even if the masters of the public mansion look down on her, they won't embarrass her too much.

Xiao Leshi was persuaded to find a slightly better set of clothes to wear with Ming's wife; Subsequently, as Ming Wu said, two maids knocked on the door and asked if they had cleaned up.

Ming Wu raised her voice and said, "Come in, we're dressing up." ”

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and two hurried footsteps walked towards the inner room; When they arrived in the inner room, the two maids first blessed themselves, and then asked.

"Mrs. Xiao, Miss Xiao, there is a banquet in the old man's courtyard; The old man asked us to come over and invite the two of us. ”

"Just as you are here, you will groom us up; We don't have as much makeup as you see in the bustling capital. After Ming's wife finished speaking, she took the initiative to get out of the way and motioned for them to comb Xiao Le's hair first.

The two maids didn't dare to say goodbye, and then walked behind Xiao Leshi to untie the hairstyle that had been combed for her; A woman's head was combed for her, and the hairstyle was put into a disc, which made Xiao Le's face a little rounder.

There were a few pieces of jewelry on the dresser, which the maids wanted to use; was rejected by Xiao Leshi, and she took out the silver jewelry she brought in her luggage and finished it.

The two maids opened their mouths and said nothing; There have been some changes to Xiao Le's and Ming Sister-in-law.

They worked as maids and served many guests to freshen up; There are those who are shallow-eyed, and when they see the things on the dresser, they want to put them all on their heads, but they don't know that doing this will only make people look down on them from the bottom of their hearts, and they don't want to have deep friendships.

"Miss Xiao is suitable?" The maids asked sideways.

Ming Wu looked at it carefully, and only then did she speak, "Very good, help me comb my hair, the same don't put jewelry; Keep it simple. ”

Mother's intentions, she understood; It's not that they can't touch their things, even if they put them in front of them, they can't touch them at their fingertips.

What's more, she is not a shallow-eyed person, where would she be tempted by these gold and silver jewelry; It's just that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in Beijing is really good, and those gold and silver jewelry are not made of many materials, but they are extremely exquisite, and some are even wire drawing. The cost of this process alone costs a lot of money, not to mention the cost of every inch of land in Beijing, and buying and selling things is even more expensive.

The maids combed her with a lovely bun, and her hair was coiled on the left and right sides in two chirps, and she was hugged with a delicate and beautiful red cloth; The maids saw a pair of small bells in the jewelry box and asked her for her opinion.

"Miss Xiao, is it good to tie this pair of silver bells on both sides?"

Xiao Mingwen: .......

"No, it's good to be simple." There was a bell on the left and right, and she was not used to tinkling when she walked.
